work toward restoring democracy and egypt is planning to hold a national referendum on an amended constitution. presidential and parliamentary elections are planned next year. >> obviously part of the roadmap and part of the process of strengthening egypt's linkages to the rest of the world will be measured in the way in which the people of egypt are sustained in their ability to have the right to assemble, the right to express themselves, but even as they do that we also agree no one should be allowed to practice violence with impunity. >> reporter: right now more than 20,000 police and soldiers are deployed across cairo to prevent violence and al jazeera dominick cain has more on the trial. >> reporter: these are the first pictures of mohamed morsi

to emerge since he was deposed as president in july. >> translator: leaked by an egyptian newspaper they show him during a meeting with foreign dignitaries later that month and he said he was ousted by the military if a move that was illegal. it's illegal crime, i'm the president according to the constitutional of the country. and the strike against the state institutions, this issue relates all the basics of these institutions and the definition of an institution. >> reporter: the contrast with his inauguration is stark. it was a moment that seemed to suggest egypt's transition from dictator ship to democracy, the arrival of a freely elected president both in a traditional government setting and then more emotionally in the square. the crucible of the revolution itself but 18 months later

mohamed morsi is out of office and charges of insighting others to commit murder. the prosecution case relates to violence of his supporters and opponents last december outside of the presidential palace. one lawyer who will be in court to observe him told al jazeera the charges are baseless. >> translator: there is no evidence that dr. morsi has committed any crime. trials of a political nature and atmosphere of a coup usually and i hope they are wrong they are never neutral, transparent or fair. >> reporter: 20,000 members of the security forces will be on the streets with metal detectors to prevent protesters disrupting the trial. the anti-coup alliance called on supporters to stage mass demonstrations in protest. on the streets of the capitol opinion is divided before the trial. >> translator: i believe it's a

good thing because morsi was bad in one year as what happened in the past 30 years and should be tried. he did not fulfill promises and during his time there was no security. >> translator: people will start taking to the streets again. >> reporter: mohamed morsi's family has been able to speak to him only once since he was detained. they will not be in court since like him they reject the court's right to try him. dominick cain, al jazeera, cairo. >> reporter: and initial reports saying morsi's trial is not going smoothly and state tv in egypt says other defendants in the courtroom are chanting against his prosecution and sue says that morsi is refusing to cooperate. >> he said he was the legitimate president and the coup was on the judge. and clearly he is not respecting

the judge and the due process of the court and not respecting the fact he is there and begs the question how he will defend the question if he will not embrace the fact he is on trial and no getting away from that. if he sits there and says nothing he will be tried anyway. he is standing along with the other muslim brotherhood defendants and there is 7 alongside of him even though another 14 are also being tried, some of his muslim brotherhood officials. but they apparently we are hearing earlier started chanting in the court to try and disrupt the proceedings as well and doing everything they can to not allow the court case to carry on. but you really have to question as to whether that will be a tactic that can last throughout the whole day. >> and we are reporting from cairo. if morsi is convicted he could face life in prison or the death penalty.

making overtures with support of the leader. pakistan says it will review it's relationship with the u.s. after a deadly drone strike and he was killed friday near the afghan border and the local government wants to block nato supply routes to afghanistan and we report the taliban want revenge. >> he says he shouldn't have come to work today but says he can't afford to stay home. he tells us he fears attacks by the pakistan taliban after the u.s. killed the leader in an unmanned aerial drone strike. >> translator: people stopped coming to market. we are so afraid the taliban will attack us, i don't know what to do. >> reporter: his fears are based on personal experience. the story teller's market where he works has been attacked several times by the taliban and

lost month his uncle was killed in a bombing. and security is on high alert after the pakistan taliban threatened to afenge the death saying the blood will be turned into a suicide bomber. besides the fear there is also anger. in a media briefing on saturday interior minister kahn said they destroyed the efforts. >> it was ambushed and not acquired, it was an ambush and we see it as an ambush. >> reporter: other political parties want more than angry words with washington. and khan controls the northern providence that borders the strongholds in the tribal areas and demanding nato supply routes to afghanistan be closed.

>> translator: i will raise the issue on monday in the national assembly, nato supply lines should be blocked until drone attacks stop. we will not allow nato supply lines to come until they stop the drone attacks. >> reporter: many people in the pakistan government, military and intelligence agencies are pleased with his death. during his time as leader he was responsible for carrying out several major attacks claiming thousands of lives. but he was also open to peace talks with the government and now that is under threat as the pakistan taliban threatens to avenge his death, al jazeera, islamabad. >> reporter: and u.s. lawmaker is defending that drone strike, chairman said it will protect american troops. >> this is the guy that is trying to create the problems for pakistan and relates with afghanistan taliban, these are

the folks that cut and closed 500 schools and most girl schools in the eastern providence of afghanistan and part of the network which is basically a giant organized crime group operating in the areas of pakistan involved in supporting al-qaeda, taliban and others. this was a bad guy. by the way, there is some information recently that concerned us about the safety of our troops. i feel a little better for our troops today than i did before this event happened. >> reporter: and this group claimed responsibility for the failed attempt to bomb time square three years ago. former president of pakistan has been granted bail. he is charged in the killing of a person in a raid six years ago at islamabad mosque and this dragged on and we will go to

islamabad and good morning to you. this is a symbol of the past , s he a distraction to the courts? >> it's a very good way of putting it and could explain what happened next of musharraf after granting bail in the fourth case he is involved with. he casts a shadow over pakistan but the shadow diminished since earlier this year. he came back to in his own words to save pakistan but really since then he has been struggling to save himself. in fact, he is under house arrest for more than six months, confined to two small rooms in the luxury farm house outside of islamabad and put there for security and didn't think there was a jail safe for him to stay. the fact he doesn't carry the same sort of clout in this

country that he once used to, i think is perhaps why we may see musharraf actually leave the country eventually. the court has not restricted travels but he is on an interior ministry which means without the government's approval he can't leave the country and the government led with a nasty history and he wants to see the back of him because he is a distraction from the other major problems this country is facing >> he has been under house arrest as i understand it in a villa outside pakistan, how much of a hardship is that for mr. musharraf? >> look, this was once the most powerful man in pakistan, a country of 180 million people. he ruled this country effectively with an iran fist for nearly nine years. he came back to pakistan because he thought that the people of

pakistan wanted him to come back, but the country had changed in the five years he was gone. he was no longer relevant. so when he was placed under house arrest it was stunning to see, never in a country like pakistan which is ruled by the military for more than half of its history ever seen such a senior leader, military leader be put behind bars and dragged through the courts and we have seen a change in psyche in pakistan showing that although the powerful military types have control to the day, they are not completely immune from the law but as we have been saying there is a reasonable chance that the government will find a way for musharraf to leave the country and the military here is very strong and certainly do not want him to be convicted of any crime. >> reporter: fascinating development in pakistan and mts in islamabad and thank you. heavy rain and high winds are hitting mexico's pacific coast

and sonia may landfall and they lifted severe weather warnings as it came along the shore of el-dorado and could have flash flooding and 6-10" of rain and it will lose steam this afternoon moving inland and over mexico's mountains. it seems like mexico has been slammed by storm after storm this season and we have a look at what is behind the severe weather, good morning. >> as a matter of fact, it's been quiet across the atlanta base and active in the pacific and portions of the gulf of mexico earlier on in the season and back in september, two tropical storm emanuel and ingrid went to mexico and triggered land slides and killed hundreds of people. we will look at sonia diminish rapidly making its way across the mountains.

look at the temperatures highs here today, 42 in toronto, back into philly 48. ten degrees below where we should be at this time of the year. the area of high pressure is going to bring in the warmth and sunshine even across portions of the southeast. if you are traveling along 95 here and also on the beaches across florida, rough surf and rip currents are possible. please be careful. temperatures across the southeast nice and comfortable, beautiful with temps in the 60's in atlanta clear back to birmingham. i'll tell you about the snow in the north in a bit. >> thank you. >> a middle school math teacher shot to death last month is requesting remembered. he was a former marine and master sergeant in the national guard. he was given full military ors during a memorial service. he was killed by a seventh grader who wounded two other students before killing himself. >> french officials are

>> good morning. welcome back to aljazeera america. >> some democrats in washington are worried they're going to lose jobs over the ongoing n.s.a. scandal. we'll talk with an experienced democratic strategist. >> let's get a look at what temperatures we can expect to see across the nation. i'm he can specking a lot of low temperatures. >> a lot of low temperatures. it's chilly out there this morning. these are not actual temperatures, but this is what it feels like when you think about the wind pushing out of the north and west and the cool

air mass that's taken over with high pressure in troll. in toronto, it feels like 29. right now in new york, it feels like 30. 24 in philadelphia, here's our high temperatures today in the 40's across much of the northeast. back to you all. >> thank you. >> there will be no clemency for edward snowden. the former n.s.a. contractor is asking for leniency from the u.s. government, but the white house and some members of congress denied his request. snowden believes he sparked an important debate about u.s. spying. he leaked secret government documents about the n.s.a., including information that the u.s. has been spying on its allies. if he returns to the u, snowden faces charges of espionage. he is currently living in russia where he was granted sigh come. >> after the government shutdown and debt ceiling crisis, democrats are riding high with most americans blaming republicans for the financial mess. now it's the democrats who are worrying because of the growing spying scandal involving the

n.s.a. to help us break down the possible political fallout for congressional democrats who fear they may pay the price in the 2014 mid term elections, we are joined by our guest. >> i think it's rather obvious at this point because allies are upset and are uncomfortable, the notion that the united states is engaging in spying on its allies and others for the first time is a bit absurd. we all know most countries do engage in this behavior. the problem and the challenge for the obama administration is that people thought that he would be different, that he would break from some of those policies. i do think of all of the different controversies that surround a president, this president or any president. >> that can't be good news for the president, especially with his approval ratings slipping. >> i do think the spying

controversy is probably going to be the most problematic for the obama administration. mow president's do encounter controversy, they are no stranger to it. this is the most problematic. what the president needs to do is get out there forcefully as transapparently as possible within this context, say i own this, i will fix this, and put in place policies to correct it and course correct. i think again, the challenges for him is that a lot of democrats were upset by this. a lot of other scandals, the republicans manufacturing things to go after him for political purposes, witch hunts and so fort, but this angered people who are part of the party. >> how does the president do that with in-fighting with hey he saying we need to end the program and dianne feinstein saying we have to continue the program. >> this is good, the debate going on.

some people think yes, the n.s.a. should aggressively collect intelligence, figuring out ways to keep us safe. more people prefer that to us engaging in wars over terrorism or the drone program. i think that it's important for the democrats to bring it to the public in a way that encourages a discourse and hopefully garnering support around policies that can make this program workable while at the same time not as problematic. >> america's approval of congress is at an all time low. what can the democrats do to change that? >> i think there are a lot of things the democrats can do. i don't have a big problem with it being low for the republicans, but for the democrats, i think that one of the things they did that they didn't do well was when they did those town hall meetings, they had massive town hall meetings which allowed people there to obstruct meetings, create problems, come in and flood with silliness and anything activity.

what they should do is meet with individual groups, serious groups, small business organizations, consumers groups, meet individually with these groups and talk about policy, talk about what they can be doing and that's a context where you won't have this kind of political chicanery that goes on. they can have one clear message from the party. >> you think this will move the 2014 mid term elections. >> it remains to be seen. unfortunately, the public has a short memory. we are in an environment when the next thing happens, everybody jumps on to the next thing. it depends whether more allegations come out. that's really going to be the primary determining factor and whether or not the president forcefully steps up and says look, this is what we're going to do to rectify this, which i think he will. >> hopefully the president's

listening to you this morning and will do that. good to have you with us. >> thank you. >> mitt romney is slamming president obama over the affordable care act. the former republican presidential candidate said he's unhappy about how the president is comparing the rollout of the federal plan with a similar law he signed as governor of massachusetts. >> in massachusetts, we phased in the requirements so that there was a slow rollout. that way you could test the systems as you went looking for glitches. perhaps the most important lesson the president failed to learn was you have to tell the american people the truth. when you told the american people that you could keep your health insurance if you wanted to keep that plan, period that he said that time and again, he wasn't telling the truth. >> romney says the economy has salad and that the u.s. has lost international credibility since president obama was reelected. >> to business news now this morning. a new poll indicates older americans are opposed to any

changes to social security benefits. the associated press survey finds people 50 and older oppose changing the way kola raises are calculated. they oppose raising the eligibility raise. more want more generous benefits. they show support for proposals that would impact high earners. >> blackberry has been shopping for potential buyers and today the bids are do. fairfax financial is expected to make its offer. the company made a conditional $4.7 billion offer for blackberry in september. now it's if i believe. others reportedly interested in the smart phone company include facebook, micro cost and the company's co founders. >> if u.s. airways wants to merge, the airline would have to undear slots at key airlines. the airlines are prepared to

give up terminal spaces outside washington. settlement talks between the airline and justice democratic are underway. both sides are ready to go to trial starting november 25. >> stock futures are higher now signaling a positive start when trading gets underway in just a couple of hours now. wall street has been enjoying the federal reserve's cheap money policy, pushing stocks to record highs recently. here's where we stand this morning. the dow is 15,615, the s&p 500 is 1761, the nasdaq at 3922. this week, investors are waiting for friday unemployment report. it could determine how well retailers do in the holiday shopping season. one analyst warns with pure people working, there is less money to spend. >> retailers are desperate now. we have six less shopping days, as you know this year versus last year, and we are in a very

tough time, united states. i am not predicting stellar holiday sales this year. >> luxury goods are expected to do very well. >> they're called the golden years, a time when older people are supposed to reap the regards of a lifetime worth of work to for many senior citizens around the world, they cannot afford to survive if they stop working. in a series focusing on the world's senior citizens, we go to afghanistan, ranked the worst country in the world for the elderly. >> for the elderly, life here is the toughest in the world. that's according to a recent survey which says afghanistan is the worst country to grow old in. in kabul, it is common to see elderly men working. their children don't have enough income to support them further. >> this is where kabul's elderly come to find out how much they will get in their monthly

pensions. if they worked for the tate for a set number of years, they are entitled to cash and will come and look at their details on the list. some of them get as little as $10 a month. >> few are lucky enough to get anything from the state. the culture in afghanistan leaves responsibility for the elderly to their children, but for many here, that simply means a small amount of food. most of like this man, not sure how old he is, perhaps 65. for him, age doesn't matter. he must have keep working to survive. it's grueling labor, chopping wood. he gets less than $2 for chopping over half a ton of logs. >> this is the 70 cents i've made so far. that's today's work. god is great, maybe by the evening, i'll make another dollars. i will pay to go home and we will buy toe states and bread.

we will seat it for dinner. tomorrow morning, i'll come here and do it again. >> he doesn't blame the government. he says they have their own problems. >> the government cannot stand on their own feet. today, they are taking help from other countries, how can they help other people. if the government cannot help themselves, how can they help the population? >> he lives in the outskirts of the city in a poor district. today at home, there's not much to eat beyond tea and bread. his wife knows there would not be that much if he ever can't work. to her, it is a brutal reality she accepts. >> if you don't have an income, you must die. death comes early in afghanistan. most die at around the same age as this man and his wife, but for those who survive longer, their final years are a continued struggle against conditions rarely seen elsewhere in the world. jane ferguson, aljazeera, kabul,

>> good morning, welcome back. >> these are our top stories. >> the trial of mohamed morsi is on hold until next year. he is on trial with 14 officials of the muslim brotherhood, charged with inciting murder against their political opponents. >> police spoke with the suspect in the los angeles airport shoot i can, saying he told them he acted alone. one person was killed and three others wounded friday by gunfire in a security screening area. >> pakistan says it will review its relationship with the united states after a drone strike killed the leader of the pakistani taliban. political parties in the country want to stop nato supplies to afghanistan because of the strikes. >> the drone strike that killed a leader of pakistan's taliban is further weakening relations

with the u.s. the strike killed the leader. routes to afghanistan may be blocked. we report the taliban also want revenge. >> this man says he shouldn't have come to work today, but says he can't afford to stay home. he tells us he fears reprizal attacks by the pakistani taliban after the u.s. killed its leader in an unmanned aerial drone strike. people have stopped coming to market. i don't know what to do. >> his fears are based on experience. the market where he works has been attacked several times by the taliban. just last month, his uncle was killed in a bombing. all across pakistan, security is on high alert after the taliban

threatened to avenge the death, saying every drop of its former leader's blood will be turned into a suicide bomber. besides the fear, there's also anger. in a media briefing on saturday, interior minister blamed the u.s. for destroying the nation's peace process with the pakistani taliban. >> the efforts have been ambushed. it was an ambush and we see it as an ambush. >> other political parties want more than angry words with washington. the border of taliban's strong hold in the tribal area demands that industry routes be closed. >> i will raise the issue on monday in the national assembly that nato supply line should be

blocked until drone attacks stop. we will not allow supply lines to enter until they stop the drone attacks. >> privately, many people in the pakistani government, military and intelligence agencies are pleased with the death. he was responsible for carrying out several major attacks, claiming thousands of lives. he was also open to peace talks with the government, and now that is under threat as the pakistani taliban threatens to avenge his death. aljazeera, islamabad. >> a u.s. lawmaker defends that drone strike. the chairman of the house's permanent intelligence committee said the attack will protect american troops. >> this is the guy that's trying to create the problems both for pakistan he relates with afghanistan taliban. these are the folks that closed 500 schools, most of them girls schools in the eastern

provinces. he's part of the network which is basically a organized crime group operating in pakistan involved in supporting al-qaeda, taliban and others. this was a bad guy. by the way, there's information recently that concerned us about the safety of our troops. i feel a little better for our troops today than i did before this event happened. >> rogers said he had ties to the failed attempt to bomb new york's time square three years ago. >> pakistan's government is blaming the u.s. for derailing peace talks with the taliban. joining us now is a contributor or global post.com who has studied drone strikes extensively, as well as middle east policy. mr. shaw, thanks so much for being with us. he had a $5 million bounty on his head. do you agree he was a bad guy?

what were his crimes. >> his biggest crime was he orchestrated the attack in september 2010 and he showed up in a video and claimed responsibility for that. also, he was involved in the times square bombing. i think, and he had $5 million bounty on him, so i think as americans have been taking out many other militant commanders, he was among one of them, so i'm not surprised if the americans killed him in a drone attack. >> the americans will know doubt say this is a victory and not everyone views it that way. can you talk about why? >> i mean, pakistan has reservations about this, saying the timing is not perfect. i don't think the americans have ever greed they won't attack

this commander. >> why is the timing not good? because of the peace talks that started last week no. >> exactly. pakistan says because of the peace talks, we are not happy with this, but i think you have to take this whole debate on the drones in the context of the end game in afghanistan. pakistan doesn't want the drone strikes to continue and doesn't want the americans to take out militants. despite the fact that pakistan has been the beneficiary of the attacks. >> why doesn't it want to take out militants? >> because post 2014, the americans are going to stay and their main focus will be object counter intelligence now and the drones will continue to be the weapons of choice with the americans. pakistan currently harbors america's worst enemies. many are there, so pakistan has

serious concerns about the continued american presence and use of drones in this war. >> it's a target-rich environment, oned say. you have not only done a lot of reporting on the drones, but born there, raised there as a young child when it was a beautiful, peaceful place. how do you think locals feel about drone strikes like these. in this case we don't know of any civilian casualties. we do know this is a taliban commander responsible for the deaths of thousands of people. >> there is a very favorable view of the drones among the local population, because the alternative to drone attack is military operations. currently, we have more than 700,000 people who have been displaced by the pakistani military in these operations. the fact is that as i mentioned earlier, not a single taliban commander has been killed in 10 years of war by the pakistani military. all of these have been taken out

by the u.s. drones, people, if you give them two choices, either it's the military operations or the drone attacks, so people will go for the drone attacks, because of its precision, because of its accuracy, and less collateral damage and the fact that no one has been displaced by the drones, while a lot of people have been displaced by the military operations. >> what about the collateral damage. there were recent reports from amnesty international that there are a lot of innocent men, women and children killed in these attacks, not only in pakistan, but yemen. >> i totally agree with coma amnesty international says. what is coming out of pakistan is a really controlled information environment. one of the incidents which they mention in their report and the family was brought here is one case. we really don't know. you cannot verify them.

the drones have been effective on the ground, but narratives surrounding the drones has been the u.s. has lost that narrative to the pakistanis and they have by controlling the information very effectively promoted this narrative, anti drone narrative in which they blame it to be against they're as he veinty. >> even though wikileaks show they may have been complicit in drone attacks. we're going to have to leave it here. i hope you'll come back and speak more are to us. thank you. >> thank you. >> forme form bail paves the waf former president musharif to leave his house. he still faces charges in the detention of judges in the

deaths of pakistani prime minister. >> big crowds are gathered outside the former u.s. embass in tehran for a death to america rally. thirty years ago, american staffers were held hostage. in recent months, talks have gun with u.s. >> thousands have come out to to support students day in tehran and remember the hostage taking and takeover of the sufficient embassy here in tehran, a very, very large compound. the crowds stretched all the way past the embass and down the street, probably thousands of people here a little less than in previous years. the sentiment is absolutely one of defiance regardless of what's going on on the international political stage, the people here still see the united states as the great satan and do not support the normalization of
